Weave a Rush Garlic Bag

The Course

This handy little hanging rush container is woven from the wonderfully supple Common Bulrush (Scirpus Lacustris) collected from the river Thames. This little bag is great for holding garlic but you can of course keep whatever you like in it! Specially designed by Rachel as an introductory project to working in Rush, we will cover several techniques during the day.
